I have no idea where it came from, sorry. I can ask. I think it's all WR Long, same thing they had to do with my Kubota when it was installed instead that time I got two pushbuttons.

Assuming it’s with the WR Long, do you have the ‘soft ride’ switch? After looking at it, looks nice to have..seems like it may go away if the joystick is swapped out with the WR Long?

well if I had it, I sure don't have it now...
simple answer is no, I've never heard of soft ride until now

Which Loader do you have? The FL.3615 (Self Leveling)/FL.3622 (Non-Self Leveling) come standard with SoftDrive Loader Suspension System. The Suspension helps take the bounce out of the loader awesome when driving down the road and with load on front , helps reduce bounce in tractor and give you smoother ride. The 931X or 936X loader SoftDrive is optional accessory. The Silver Switch is for turning on/off Third Function. The Black Button is for Solenoid 3rd Function (if equipped) 4th function is available as an option.
Here is video we did with SoftDrive Example to show the effects.

I have the 931X loader
May I assume the Soft Ride accumulator is not a dealer add on?

The soft ride kit is quite easy to install yourself. Probably an hour. My 936x loader even has the holes already drilled for it. It costs about $560.

I'll ask the dealer, thanks, about ordering it.

Thanks for the video/info!

Is the main difference with the new loader (FL) the weigh/smart ability?

Does the 936x have a any type of ‘safety’ feature in case you lift too much where it falls or stops etc? Just curious.

Do you know if the 936x has 4th function from MF for the unlocking of the pins on skid steer? Idea on cost installed?

FL Series are the Deluxe Loader that replaced the "Non-X" Series Loaders like 931, 941, 951, etc. It's new design increased visibility, reduced weight, higher lift capacity and more optional features like Q-Companion that turns the loaders into a Smart Loader. It can weigh loads. return to level, and much more. Really interesting where loader technology has gone.

There is no limiter for loaders and what they can lift.

They do not offer HydraLock for Skid Steer only the Euro Quick Attach versions.

Ok thank you!

I guess people just find out if it can’t lift something that’s too heavy? I’m mainly thinking about with trees/large logs that are down on my property.

SoftDrive is Field Installed Option for the X Series Loaders and even the DL125/DL135 can add SoftDrive.

If I had to do this over again, based on how the R1's are tearing up my fields, I'd order my tractor
with R4's, or this very interesting new hybrid tire.

I run a disc and a big rototiller, the grip of the R1's is fantastic but I'd rather have less property damage.

I tried looking into getting R4’s and it was all but impossible.. maybe once it’s warmer & dries out better it will be easier on the fields? How long have you your 4707?

It looks like these would be available in sizes that would work for your tractor.
The price might be a tad bit steep then selling your almost new used ones.
Nokian TRI 2 / Nokian Heavy Tyres

There are a lot of different tread patterns out on the market, I know that some of the turf growers have some flotation type rubber on tractors and I have seen turf tires
in 30 and 36 inch sizes. None of them are cheap though.

First time you REALLY wanted to pull something, you would be wishing you had the R1's!!

Thanks for sending that. The dealers all told me basically no (I’d have to buy the original with tractor then buy the additional) & agco/massey said they didn’t offer bc there was little to no market for selling them (R4s).. maybe if I come up with some extra money one day I’ll get them.

Now for the potential ‘dumb’ question. Are the rim sizes similar like cars, you look for x tire based on your size tire and it will fit your rim?

Pretty much so if you have a 24" rim with and 11" width when you look at tires they go by the rim diameter,
an 11.2-24 is a 11 inch plus tread on a 24 inch rim,
a 18.4-30 is just shy of an 18 1/2" tread on a 30 inch rim
when they go metric it makes it a bit more confusing but not much,
a 480/80R30 is a metric 18.4-30
Many of the ag tire sites will have a comparison chart for inch to metric equals,
and most of the tire manufactures will list loaded radius values and some time rolling circumferences.
They quite often will also have tire pressure to load ratings also.

Some people that have tire preferences that the dealer won't or can't do will buy a tractor and buy tires separately
then sell the factory tires as new or lightly used take offs just like you see adds for truck or car takeoffs.

Agreed.
Simply not my reality though. If I lived in Florida I wouldn't buy snow tires either...
The only downside to me based on my experience with R4's is the stiff sidewall and poor ride.
In my area, no snow and very little mud. Plus I don't commercially farm.
If I went into the woods like you do, no question one wants max grip.
Again, I have other priorities.

Real challenge is getting a decent price for the trade in's.
